About

Dr. Lisa Bhagan is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive approaches to hysterectomy. Her primary research focuses on comparing surgical outcomes between robotic-assisted and traditional laparoscopic techniques, with a particular emphasis on safety, efficacy, and patient recovery. Her landmark 2009 study, "Laparoscopic hysterectomy with and without a robot: Stanford experience," which has garnered 60 citations, provided critical early evidence on the comparative benefits of robotic assistance in complex gynecologic procedures. This retrospective chart review, comparing robotic-assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy (RALH) with matched standard laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH) controls, helped establish foundational benchmarks for surgical decision-making. Dr. Bhagan’s contributions have been instrumental in shaping clinical protocols and guiding surgeons in selecting optimal approaches for their patients. Her work remains highly influential in the ongoing evolution of gynecologic surgery, demonstrating a commitment to improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through rigorous comparative analysis.
